Thank You, Oliver, after I changes the EOF policy, our backend works
<BR>
&quot;smooth like wodka&quot; (Pitr).
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Yes, but you also can argue that SANE_STATUS_EOF is not a failure,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; only the info that there is no more data than returned by
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; this sane_read command. It does not hurt to mention it explictly.
</EM><BR>
<P>By the way: Thank You for Xsane 0.76. It's getting nicer and nicer :-)
<BR>
<P>I did't look into the new scanning code, but 0.74 had in fact a
<BR>
vulnerability (buffer overrun), if the backend offers actually more data
<BR>
than was precalculated by the front end.
<BR>
<P>This is/was really a bug in the front end Xsane, because the parameters
<BR>
to sane_read (aount of data requestet) don't mention the coming end of
<BR>
the buffer (always requesting 64K/8K).
<BR>
<P>By *very* careful width/length prediction (and some paranoia checks) the
<BR>
client can avoid the buffer smashing, but IMHO this is not the best way
<BR>
to make the tiers robust (you have to trust the scanner). GIGO would be
<BR>
perhaps better.:-)
